Predator Masters would like to see you bring your spouse and kids as well, we are not just a boy's club. There is something for everyone!


The banquet will be held at the High Desert Inn, this is not the same hotel where we will be staying.

3015 Idaho Street • Elko, Nevada 89801 Exit 303 off I80

The Salt Lake City, Utah International Airport is about a 3.5 hours, 225 miles away from the PM Convention. It has Rental cars and full service. There are flights out of SLC to Elko if you desire also.

Red Lion offers free shuttle service to and from the Amtrak station and the Elko airport. There is a kiosk upon arrival to phone the front desk to let them know to come and get you.



The High Desert Inn is where we will have the dinners every night, guest speaker seminars, and the banquet for raffle ticket drawings for all kinds of predator hunting equipment.

HOTEL!

We have a block of rooms reserved at the Red Lion Hotel at a special rate of $79/night plus tax. The hotel is centrally located to major artery roads to go any direction to hunt. You can be hunting on public lands within a 15 minute drive from the hotel. You are only about 1.5 hours from Utah or Idaho to hunt also. Utah does not require a license but Idaho does. In addition, the hotel is only about 6.5 miles from the Shooting Range (exit 298), where we will have this year's Egg Shoot.

I’ve set up the group block under “Predator Masters”. Below are the booking instructions: Make sure you adjust the dates according to when you will be there. By default it will automatically schedule Sept 9-16. You will need to change the date to fit your schedule.

HUNTING!

As with past Conventions, Predator Masters is NOT organizing a hunt. Any hunting that is done must be arranged privately between attendees for camaraderie. There is NO hunting contest, NO hunting prizes, NO check in location, and NO paid guiding. What you get is a great opportunity to meet and interact with other members from all over the United States and other countries to exchange ideas, methods, and techniques. The hunting that time of year should be outstanding.

Here is a link to the Nevada game information, license requirements, and maps.

Nevada Department of Wildlife

Here is the license fees. Note that no license is required to hunt coyotes unless you intend to sell the pelts.

Fees

In the past, most attendees arrived on Wednesday so in order to participate in local activities Thursday morning incidental to attending the convention. In light of this, an orientation meeting will be provided by Predator Masters on Wednesday evening, September 12, 2018 at 6:00 pm at the Red Lion Hotel in the Lamoille room which is down the hall to the west of the hotel desk. All attendees are encouraged to come. We will answer questions about the hunting in Nevada. Several of us have hunted it before. This will be the time to ask any questions you may have about predator hunting in Nevada. We will also go over the agenda for Sept 13-15, 2018.

Trapping and hunting are legal means of harvesting the following furbearing animals in Nevada: beaver, mink, muskrat, otter, kit fox, red fox, gray fox, and bobcat. However, gray fox and bobcat are closed to nonresidents. A trapping license is required to hunt or trap any of these furbearers.

Some species can be hunted in Nevada without a hunting license, but a trapping license is required to trap them: They include the coyote, black-tailed jackrabbit, badger, weasel, spotted skunk, striped skunk, raccoon and the ring-tailed cat.

NOTE: A trapping license is required for any person of any age who sells raw furs of any kind, whether taken by trap or by firearm

The roads are mostly rutted, rocky, or dirt/mud. A 4-wheel drive isn't required in most areas, but a vehicle with high ground clearance is. If you are renting a car, it would be best to get a truck or SUV type.

If you have a GPS unit, definitely get a chip for it that will display land ownership for Nevada. There is more public land here than you can travel. However, there is a diversity of land status too. There is private, BLM, state and Indian reservation. Get a chip! One of the sponsors of Predator Masters has GPS chips available for Nevada and they are OnX Maps


WE ALWAYS HAVE A BLAST!!!
